republican national convention added insult to injury when it nominated sherman one of the worst enemies labor has as its candidate for vice president this parting shot was fired by president samuel gompers of the american federa tion of labor last night as he was about to depart for new york you ask me how i am pleased with the vice presidential choice said gompers i reply that i am not pleased at all i am very much displeased and so is every ether loyal workingman in the country sherman has always been known as an op ponent of all labor interests ills political and legislative record is one long history of enmity to labor and to labor prinei gompers left Chicago indignant at the treatment received by his cause and by himself personally he is deeply incensed at what he considers the attempt of the republicans to delude the labor vote by a straddling measure into believing their views on the injunction question have been favorably received sherman the last straw after the treatment accorded me by the resolutions committee â€” which was mos shabby â€” and the absolute ignoring of ox wishes in making up the platform sal gompers one would have thought the a tltude of the party had been adequatel expressed regarding labor evidently afraid however that som one might still suspect them of being i some slight measure favorable to our caust they finally clinched the matter by nom nating sherman with that accomplishes none of the enemies of labor need hav any fear in supporting the republican can didates and platform fot president a man is nominated who while a federal judge used the powers o injunction against the labor interests when ever he saw fit and for vice president w are offered the owner of the dtlca ic trust a man who lias always talked an voted against everything that was eve gllgbtly to benefit the union labor cause with such candidates and such a plat form can any one be surprised that th federation of labor is going to deliver t submit their demands to the democrati convention v it is certain that we cannot be treated any worse there seeks aid at denver the attitude of gompers was heartily indorsed by others of the departing mem bers of the national labor council whose last brief session was held yesterday morn ing at the kaiserhof asked as to what nccess he anticipates at the hands of the democrats at denver gompers became sud denly quite reticent i am a very hopeful man he said and never permit myself to lose heart o anticipate anything but a favorable result i am therefore very hopeful that favorable consideration wttl be given our plea a denver especially with regard to the in junction plank however i am no prophet i can only say that i hope for the best we will be there and we will niak a strong a plea as we know how then

west twenty-fifus btreet new york city â€” adrt â™¦ sherman an added insult to labor says compers history one of pronounced enmity to cause asserts federation head . the republican national convention added insult to injury when it nominated sherman one of the worst enemies labor has as its candidate for vice president this parting shot was fired by president samuel gompers of the american federa tion of labor last night as he was about to depart for new york you ask me how i am pleased with the vice presidential choice said gompers i reply that i am not pleased at all i am very much displeased and so is every ether loyal workingman in the country sherman has always been known as an op ponent of all labor interests ills political and legislative record is one long history of enmity to labor and to labor prinei gompers left Chicago indignant at the treatment received by his cause and by himself personally he is deeply incensed at what he considers the attempt of the republicans to delude the labor vote by a straddling measure into believing their views on the injunction question have been favorably received sherman the last straw after the treatment accorded me by the resolutions committee â€” which was mos shabby â€” and the absolute ignoring of ox wishes in making up the platform sal gompers one would have thought the a tltude of the party had been adequatel expressed regarding labor evidently afraid however that som one might still suspect them of being i some slight measure favorable to our caust they finally clinched the matter by nom nating sherman with that accomplishes none of the enemies of labor need hav any fear in supporting the republican can didates and platform fot president a man is nominated who while a federal judge used the powers o injunction against the labor interests when ever he saw fit and for vice president w are offered the owner of the dtlca ic trust a man who lias always talked an voted against everything that was eve gllgbtly to benefit the union labor cause with such candidates and such a plat form can any one be surprised that th federation of labor is going to deliver t submit their demands to the democrati convention v it is certain that we cannot be treated any worse there seeks aid at denver the attitude of gompers was heartily indorsed by others of the departing mem bers of the national labor council whose last brief session was held yesterday morn ing at the kaiserhof asked as to what nccess he anticipates at the hands of the democrats at denver gompers became sud denly quite reticent i am a very hopeful man he said and never permit myself to lose heart o anticipate anything but a favorable result i am therefore very hopeful that favorable consideration wttl be given our plea a denver especially with regard to the in junction plank however i am no prophet i can only say that i hope for the best we will be there and we will niak a strong a plea as we know how then w must trust to the fairness and common sense of our hearers the national council wil reassemble in Chicago on july 4 to make the denve â– trip together they will hold daily sessions j there until the
